Description
"I Write the Needle's Praise: A Century of Sampler Making, 1630-1730" is the catalog for the fall 2022 exhibition by Witney Antiques. If you're a collector or enthusiast of English band samplers, whitework samplers, or spot samplers, this book deserves a place on your bookshelf. It showcases 70 samplers, each accompanied by a page of detailed research. All of these samplers were either recently available for sale (contact Witney Antiques to inquire about availability) or were brought out of private collections specifically for this month-long exhibition.
The research, conducted by Rebecca Scott and Isabella Rosner, delves into the genealogy of the girls, new insights into their schools, and provides comparisons with similar examples. The book is written in the format of the highly regarded Feller Collection and Goodhart Sampler books published a decade ago, making it an invaluable resource for anyone passionate about historical needlework.
